What do we need to do to stop people from giving away "FREE" Kittens? Free cats, puppies and dogs for that matter too. We have seen too much and I cannot take it anymore.
All too often we see people finding cars, kittens, dogs or trying to give away or surrender their own.
This is the worst thing you can do to these babies or your babies. You think you know the individuals you are giving them to or you think they look nice, so you feel safe.
Couple things:
ONE- most people that want "free" pets want free for a reason. Think about it, why do you get do many responses "I want" , "I will take"?
Several reasons, one and biggest reason is they really can't afford a pet or to pay an adoption fee. They would never afford to be able to spay neuter pet.
So now we have a situation where we are putting the pet injepordynof never getting vet care, having a ton of babies which in turn contributes to an already major emergency problem in our country of too many homeless pets in shelters just getting killed.
Next reason they want free is the have bad intentions for that animal. Do you all not see the stories on the news or on FB or ones rescues put out there?
OK what I am about to tell you and say is very discussting, but you need to hear it. If cant stomach it read no further!
A rescuer just recently told a story where she was helping with rescuing animals, there at the house where the rescue was taking place were a ton of pets, not cow, deer it was cats, dogs...she was grabbing free pets and killing them, freezing to eat. NO JOKE "She was eating the dogs and cats" NO NOT IN OHIO!
Another story a young man was getting kittens for free to feed to his snakes live.
Another was putting pets in microwave.
Another was harming, posting to get donations then killing the cats he adopted.
These are just very recent stories.
We almost had, what we believed was a nice family adopt from us, just to find out while a visit to see the pet to adopt, that this was not a real family and they had sinister ideas.
Please research very deep into people's lives, get personal references, ask the right queztions. Ask if they know how much it cost to feed. If they do not know they do not need a pet.
Let's stop giving away for "free" there are other options.
